Howell_Hawikku_Paper and Metadata_In With the Old: Examining Issues in Using Older Mortuary Data (2011)
The use of mortuary data collected early this century poses a number of problems and opportunities. In this paper I address some of these issues with respect to mortuary databases from the ancestral Zuni villages of Hawikku and Kechipawan. These data were collected in the 1910s and 1920s; the excavations had goals that were somewhat different than current goals. This paper explores the basic qualities of these databases and the challenges of making the data comparable to other...
Interactions with the Incorporeal in the Mississippian and Ancestral Puebloan Worlds (2014)
This research explores how people’s relationships with the spirits of the dead are embedded in political histories. It addresses the ways in which certain spirits were integral “inhabitants” of two social environments with disparate political traditions. Using the prehistoric mortuary record, I investigate the spirits and their involvement in socio-political affairs in the Prehispanic American Southeast and Southwest. Foremost, I construct a framework to characterize particular social...

The database contains mortuary data for the following prehistoric settlements: Mississippian - Irene Mounds site Zuni area - Hawikku and Kechiba:wa Hohokam (Salt River Valley) - Pueblo Grande, Casa Buena, Grand Canal Ruins,...
Southwest Mortuary Database Project: 2011 SAA E-Session: Mortuary Practices in the American Southwest: Meta-Data Issues in the Development of a Regional Database
The study of prehistoric mortuary practices in the American Southwest is undergoing tremendous change in the new millennium. The challenges (and opportunities) of NAGPRA implementation, declines in the number of large samples being excavated, and loss of data from previously excavated samples have altered mortuary archaeology in the region. Given this state of affairs, the development of an integrated regional database of prehistoric mortuary practices is imperative. This session at the 76th...
